Robust first week at Cannes for HHSE and MyFlix!
The Cannes Festival and Marche has gone exceptionally well for HHSE and MyFlix. Here are a few highlights; 1). WILDFIRE screening at the Palais was enthusiastically received - and supplemented with a direct viewing link sent via email by the Cannes / Cinando team to over 2,500 registered buyers (for those unable to attend the screening). Details of our distribution partners and release dates will be jointly made, post-Cannes. 2). COWBOYS OF CANNABIS finally has a USA streaming partner for its launch in August. It is with a top streaming service under a Fortune 100 owner - which we feel will generate maximum immediate revenues - and set the property up for a nice second life on MyFlix. 3). NATIVE FABLES - a collection of original films written and directed exclusively by indigenous filmmakers - was well received as a timely forum for these under represented cultures. HHSE / MyFlix was applauded for being the most prominently supportive studio for Native American voices. 4). The LAST DAYS OF BELLE STARR promo has ignited major studio interest in this historic, western actioner, and substantial press intrigue due to the many similar themes in Scorsese film, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. Watch for Belle Starr to help elevate the stature and credibility of HHSE / MyFlix this year. Speaking of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, HHSE CEO Eric Parkinson was honored to portray the Fairfax Marshal in the film - which seems well-positioned to be an Oscar favorite this year. The after-party was equally epic, and was held at a mountain-top chateau overlooking Cannes. Attendees included Parkinson, the film’s top cast, Director Scorsese and industry CEOs Tim Cook (Apple) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon). Other Guests included Paramount and Apple Studios executives and VIP members of both the Oklahoma and Cherokee Nation Film Offices. The New York Post described the event as “a real life Great Gatsby,” and we concur. More news and updates to follow… GO HHSE!
